Hopefully, over the weekend, I will tell you a little about how we are using CDI (Comitee for the Democratisation of Information Technology to reach over 1M kids in 10 countries.
CDI is the 4th NGO in the world. It reaches poor kids (Slums, small villages, amazon indian tribes) in 10 countries, and teaches them how to use technology as long as:
1. Their project is self supporting
2. Their project helps their community
3. They allow CDI to help them with items 1 and 2
I am a good friend of Rodrigo Baggio- CDI' s creator and CEO and we are working on a new and very interesting project.
